Help Babies in Need with Life Saving Breast Milk

Co-Hosted By

Orange County’s only human milk collection center is now open at MOMS in partnership with Mother’s Milk Bank.

You can now bring your frozen, surplus breast milk to our location (open Mon- Fri 9 a.m. – 4 p.m.)

To get started as a breast milk donor, please visit www.mothersmilk.org/donate-milk

If you have extra breast milk, think about becoming a milk donor.

Mothers’ milk is the best nutrition for a baby, but sometimes a mom isn’t able to provide this gift to her child or a baby has special medical conditions. MOMS has partnered with Mothers’ Milk Bank to offer a local site for the community to bring donations of breast milk. Mothers’ Milk Bank provides safe, human breast milk to hospitals for their NICU and medically fragile babies, as well as to parents in need of mother’s milk for their child.

Chances are, if you can donate blood, you can donate milk.
